Is it just this model phone? I'm running viper ROM and using stock kernel. It just seems very grainy, could it be from the ROM?
I read on the HTC sight that it has bad quality when taking regular photos..not for sure tho...check it out yourself

Upload a photo to see. In a dark shot it will look alil grainy on screen pics come out fine tho.
No, it's the phone. The camera stock settings are crap. In fact, the whole design of the camera is not up to standard with the rest of the phones.
They dropped the ball on that part when they made this phone. It is now up to the community to correct the companies error. Hopefully a good camera port will come soon.

I will agree on some of the phones there were camera issues. So far I haven't ran into any yet. The phone does take some excellent shots.
The amaze camera port is great.
The Amaze Camera works completely on our phone? Holy crap.
Yea I second the Amaze camera its really good. Now we just need a kernel base with no shutter lag.

Thank you!
I will test the Amaze Camera!
I also think that the camera pictures aren´t good
mine takes great pics... just saying.
Yep, the Amaze camera is not too shabby. I'd recommend it.

Would you switch to it from your 3D, or would you stay with your shooter?
I myself would switch to the 4G+. While the 3D camera is cool and all, it doesn't seem to allow for Image Stabilization or time stamp on image in the 2D camera on account of compatibility issues. Also, I've had a 5MP camera on my Hero WITH Image Stabilize and the time stamp on image features, and would love my next phone to have a better camera. 8MP and 1080 video sounds nice, and if all of the specs are the same as the 3D, then I think I'm there.
What do you all think? 3D or 4G+?
These posts are getting really lame; maybe they should create a "Migrage from EVO 3D" forum with all these whiny users.
The evo 3D and 4G+ sound like the exact same thing. Switching from the Evo 4G to the 3D is at least somewhat understandable for those who need the better specs, but wasting 600 dollars on something that is not really different from your phone is a terrible idea. Also, the 4G+ sounds like it will be on Verizon.
The 3d is htcs best phone. So the evo+ will be a downgrade. Prob more like the sensation since they wouldnt make the 3d second best

The EVO + only diferences are in the Camera, the 3D with 5megapixels and the + Without the 3D but with an 8 megapixels

Moving to Q&A
Megapixels really don't mean much. The og evo had an 8mp camera and it's pics were inferior to the camera in the 3d. The 5mp camera in the og epic took better pics than the 8mp camera in the og evo. If it has the same camera as the mt4g then it well have a good camera for a phone.

But anywho... ^^;
From what I read, the phones are supposed to be exactly the same, sans the camera. I agree, the camera is pretty nice on the 3D, but I am missing the features of a non 3D camera, (I mentioned the features didn't seem to be stable with the 3D feature).
Just curious about whether yall would stay with the 3D camera if you were given a choice.
Who knows, maybe by the time my upgrade comes around again there'll be something even better. lol

Sounds like a retarded idea. Switch from a phone to nearly the same damn phone for... 3mp difference? In probably ly number only?
Yeah. Bravo genius.
"HEY, war torn African people working slave conditions for the minerals used in phones. HEY, Assembly workers who work 30hr days and who will likely commit suicide because of the horrendous conditions. This guy wants an ever so slightly better camera in a phone that is exacting in every other way. Better work yourselves to death to keep up"
Its getting a little sickening hearing seeing all the threads of folks willing to drop something that has nothing wrong with it for something that is ever so slightly better and have no conscious about it.
Well ya, you're totally right. It is kinda not the brightest of ideas I suppose. I guess I'd really only switch to that one IF there wasn't another, better HTC phone coming out by the time my upgrade is up again.

Just got myself one! Will be here monday, Just wondering how the quality is of the front facing camera! Are you happy with it? I recently did have a Nexus S 4G! Will it be way better or?
It's a 2mp. It's a lot better than the nexus s which was like a .3mp if I remember correctly. I'm very happy with the quality

I have no complaints about it honestly. it is about all you could expect from a camera with such a limited lens space! as far as your other phone, I have no idea, sorry bro
Pretty sure 2mp is still the best front facing camera you buy today quality is great in the right lighting

Guys don't know if this is a stupid question but can't we get the 2mp front facing camera to record 720p? I'm asking because the Galaxy S3 has a 2mp front shooter and the nexus has 1.3mp and they both do 720p video capture.
Camera is extremely clear in the front. I love it and all my friends are jealous because their iShits arent as good

I like that the phone has no shutter lag (supposedly), and will let you take photos while videoing. I also like the screen size, along with the resolution. In the reviews, people always seem to comment on how awesome the screen looks, so I am really looking forward to that. NFC sounds cool too.

Im excited about the camera as well. Looks like good quality (from samples ive seen) and no shutter lag. Just an overall fun camera.apk
I hate AMOLED displays for the viewing angles and hue, so I returned the E4GT and didn't even bother with the GNex. I refuse to upgrade to a phone that has less than a 4.5" screen. (Spoiled). That said, assuming the camera is on par with the E4GT, what I'm looking forward to the most is the camera. My son is very active these days and I have a daughter on the way, so being able to get good pics of them whenever and wherever is a big deal to me, and let's face it, the OG EVO camera has always sucked. Quick shutter speed, high aperture, wide angle, BSI sensor, dedicated imaging processor, stills during video capture, dedicated camera button. Hell, even as a gimmick feature, the slow motion recording sounds fun.
The camera easily, after playing with the One X's camera , I look forward to it.
XDA Since 2007...
I'm in for the faster cpu, larger screen, and more memory. Although I have all animations turned off, the original evo is lacking in the cpu dept.
I chose this over the One X and SGS3 because of the dedicated camera button, kickstand, micro sd card, great screen, and slim profile... coming from the original EVO 4G. But... if i had to pick one.... the camera button. Why doesn't everyone have this?
S4 chip, kickstand, real ics. Those three are making me upgrade from my og EVO

Yeah, other than the pre-order drama, I am really excited to use the camera button. I didn't have an EVO 3D and I have been taking more and more photography lately with my EVO 4G. Can't wait to see how the camera button affects this new hobby of mine lol.
Camera was the big one for me. Honorable mention goes to the screen, camera button (wasn't a fan of the round one on the E3D), slimness, and KICKSTAND!!!!
Anyone know if the cam button can be used as a shortcut button to open the camera?

Yes, hit the shutter button and the camera app opens. Not when it's locked though.
The camera button is the big feature? Has no one ever had this before? I know my EVO 3D, does, but it isn't new to that device. The PPC-6800 had it back in 2007 and I think my PPC-6700 did too. The Evo 4G is about the only phone I think I've had recently that didn't have the button. It is like they were trying to mimic Apple too much.
The Nexus s 4g, G2, HTC Hero, Galaxy Nexus, T-bolt all phones I had. None had a camera button. I had a ppc-6700 too but I wasn't trying to take pictured with that. The camera was horrible. Oh I had a EvO too.

Hey people first off all I would like to say that I recently bought myself a new shiny S3 and so far love it. The one thing however that disapoints me is the quality of camera. I had an iP4s before this phone and I must say that it took much much better quality pics than S3 especially in low light situations. The difference in quality cannot be unseen, the pics are supernoisy even without zooming. So I'm asking, is it possible that I maybe got a defective camera on my phone? This fact really annoys me because I tend to use camera on my phone quite often.
I took this the other day - would you sat it is poorer quality that what your iPhone shot?

theres been huge comparisons between the 2 cameras. Theres a thread on here that compares them in a bunch of different conditions and if i'm not mistaken the S3 edged out the 4s (sorry i dont have time to link it right now) .
GSMarena did a camera test S3 vs 4S vs OneX vs PureView and the results were (from best to worst) Pureview, S3, 4S, OneX
I guess it just depends on the way you take the pics but i have heard of some models shipping with bad camera modules... Could u post some pics maybe so that we have a comparison
Check the "pictures taken with your S3" thread.. if yours isn't taking pictures as well as the pics in that thread you may have a faulty camera. I've been nothing but impressed with the camera!

basically i just turned anti shake and auto contrast off. that limits the max iso to 800. then you gotta play around with the scene settings~
Hello. I haven't used the camera much yet but i would have the iso off auto and set as low as possible. Image size at 8mp and quality set to superfine. That would be my starting point. The few photos i've taken so far didn't look rough like the one shown by op. Play with the settings and see if there's an improvement.
Some phones have Sony camera (Perfect, better that iPhone's one), but most phones have Samsung camera (Korean ****)
I was pleasantly surprised about the picture quality my SGS3 produces.
Then again I don't expect too much...

the s3 camera is ok. i still think my htc sensation took better quality pictures. the htc sensation camera has more setting options than the s3. i do a lot of photo touching in post for print ads, with photos, using a professional camera but touching up photos from the s3 vs. my old htc sensation, i would have to say that photos taken with the sensation was much better to work with. the s3 is better with video recording. i do plan to shoot a 5min short film with this phone...just cause.
